Confirmed: Rockstar Presents Table Tennis for the Wii not to have online play

While everyone can agree that the combination of Rockstar Presents Table Tennis and the Wii’s motion-sensing gameplay is a winning one, it seems that the company behind the quality ping-pong title has taken online play out of that equation. Yep, we won’t be able to volley that little ball back and forth with our friends over the interweb.

This news comes directly from Rockstar, who issued a statement regarding the removal of online play from the Wii version of the sports title. This statement, unedited and presented as is:

All the focus is going into making it the most advanced control system on the Wii.

There you have it. Because they’re really upping the quality of the control system, they let go of developing an online feature for the game. Which is really just too bad, as using that exact same control system in an online match would have been awesome.

Oh, well. Here’s hoping that the game itself will make up for lack of online multiplayer.
